I'm using NixOS on a laptop and want to disable auto-suspension that happens every time I close the laptop lid. Approach described in “How to disable auto suspend when I close laptop lid?”, that is, editing /etc/systemd/logind.conf
won't work, as it is just a symlink to /etc/static/systemd/logind.conf
, which itself is a symlink to a file in /nix/store
.
AFAIK, you shouldn't edit the Nix store directly, although I'm not entirely sure what would happen if I did. But the file in /nix/store
doesn't have write permissions anyway.
How do I disable auto-suspension of a laptop in a NixOS idiomatic way?

While the solution proposed by Mirzhan will probably work, there is a much more elegant way using the
services.logind.lidSwitch
andservices.logind.lidSwitchDocked
options.Now, you can just write
These options also have types provided so an invalid configuration would be detected at build time.
